00:03:52,490 --> 00:03:44,129 yeah there's a joke in there right now 77 00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:52,500 just waiting to be had oh well I have a 78 00:03:56,539 --> 00:03:54,540 couple topics I'd like to hit today and 79 00:03:58,369 --> 00:03:56,549 I guess we'll start with one that's been 80 00:04:00,800 --> 00:03:58,379 the subject of renewed discussion and 81 00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:00,810 debate and that's the question of 82 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:03,750 whether UFOs should be considered a 83 00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:08,370 threat now on the last episode of 84 00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:11,190 unknown I kind of talked about that a 85 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:13,980 bit and my thoughts on that and kind of 86 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,530 the a little bit of history where that 87 00:04:21,949 --> 00:04:18,959 comes into play where where the military 88 00:04:23,450 --> 00:04:21,959 the US government has offered opinions 89 00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:23,460 about that you know certainly with 90 00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:25,590 official UFO investigations we've we've 91 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:29,070 seen those sort of closed and shutdown 92 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:30,930 and finalized because it was determined 93 00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:33,570 that UFOs don't pose a threat but of 94 00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:35,190 course the military looks at everything 95 00:04:41,870 --> 00:04:38,789 from a threat assessment perspective so 96 00:04:44,659 --> 00:04:41,880 I mean I come out on the side of UFOs 97 00:04:46,370 --> 00:04:44,669 definitely being a potential threat and 98 00:04:49,070 --> 00:04:46,380 that's that's the the verbage they use a 99 00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:49,080 potential threat because clearly when 100 00:04:53,029 --> 00:04:51,270 you don't know what something is it's a 101 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:53,039 potential threat you need to identify it 102 00:04:57,170 --> 00:04:54,720 and then be able to eliminate it as a 103 00:04:59,870 --> 00:04:57,180 possible threat but another big issue 104 00:05:03,140 --> 00:04:59,880 with this question and the answers 105 00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:03,150 people give is this weird idea that UFOs 106 00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:07,800 is a singular unified thing I mean UFOs 107 00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:10,740 aren't all the same thing right they 108 00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:12,990 aren't necessarily all related 109 00:05:18,589 --> 00:05:15,840 you can't ever in my opinion you can't 110 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:18,599 ever eliminate UFOs as a potential 111 00:05:22,269 --> 00:05:19,289 threat 112 00:05:25,459 --> 00:05:22,279 completely because of their very nature 113 00:05:27,529 --> 00:05:25,469 their unknown objects they're not 114 00:05:29,119 --> 00:05:27,539 related just because you see what this 115 00:05:31,369 --> 00:05:29,129 one thing is it was flying in the 116 00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:31,379 airspace at this time does it mean you 117 00:05:35,450 --> 00:05:34,020 go oh that was nothing that's just fine 118 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:35,460 we're not gonna look at it anymore 119 00:05:40,579 --> 00:05:37,770 because every UFO is different than 120 00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:40,589 every UFO has to be looked at from that 121 00:05:45,799 --> 00:05:43,830 sort of military threat assessment 122 00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:45,809 perspective what do you guys think uh 123 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:48,960 yeah I mean we can go so far as if 124 00:05:54,019 --> 00:05:52,050 anyone listened to the conversation with 125 00:05:57,409 --> 00:05:54,029 Tom DeLonge Chris melon and Lois 126 00:05:59,899 --> 00:05:57,419 Elizondo recently Elizondo the former 127 00:06:02,689 --> 00:05:59,909 head of a tip the threat identification 128 00:06:05,209 --> 00:06:02,699 program it's right in the in the name of 129 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:05,219 the program and of course someone like 130 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:07,289 him is going to be looking at this topic 131 00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:11,849 from a a threat angle he asked you now 132 00:06:17,899 --> 00:06:13,969 that doesn't necessarily mean that these 133 00:06:20,329 --> 00:06:17,909 objects or phenomena are malevolent as 134 00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:20,339 Jason pointed out it just means we don't 135 00:06:25,309 --> 00:06:22,740 know what they are and they could pose a 136 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,319 potential threat what I think is most 137 00:06:30,980 --> 00:06:27,360 interesting about this question Jason is 138 00:06:33,259 --> 00:06:30,990 the idea that it's not even the UFO or 139 00:06:36,679 --> 00:06:33,269 the UAP that's the threat it's us it's 140 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:36,689 how we react to it it's now you know I 141 00:06:40,999 --> 00:06:38,849 recently covered the tehran UFO incident 142 00:06:44,509 --> 00:06:41,009 of 1976 and this is a prime example 143 00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:44,519 where a fighter pilot was in a 144 00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:48,479 cat-and-mouse you know game with the UFO 145 00:06:55,309 --> 00:06:52,080 and could possibly have used his weapons 146 00:06:58,969 --> 00:06:55,319 on it or vice versa yeah so I think a 147 00:07:02,149 --> 00:06:58,979 lot of it again comes down to the human 148 00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:02,159 being observing the object and if it's a 149 00:07:08,209 --> 00:07:06,089 military observer if we could be the 150 00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,219 threat we could be the one causing harm 151 00:07:14,359 --> 00:07:10,800 in our reaction to it so if we don't 152 00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:14,369 have protocol in you know setup for 153 00:07:19,369 --> 00:07:16,649 something like that the pilots gonna act 154 00:07:21,799 --> 00:07:19,379 the way they want to and if it's a 155 00:07:24,679 --> 00:07:21,809 threat to them they might fire on it so 156 00:07:27,049 --> 00:07:24,689 yeah I think the threat really comes 157 00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:27,059 from us more than it does any of these 158 00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:29,329 UFOs of course yeah I mean they've 159 00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:32,320 supposedly affected 160 00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:35,430 ordnance nuclear ordnance or they have 161 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:38,470 harmed people in physiological ways at 162 00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:40,570 times but I think if we look at the 163 00:07:47,490 --> 00:07:43,870 overall history of UFOs it's really not 164 00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:47,500 a threat from the object itself it's how 165 00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:50,620 we react to it so yeah right and and 166 00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:52,510 like you brought up the confusing threat 167 00:07:56,850 --> 00:07:54,910 with malevolence that's an important 168 00:07:59,250 --> 00:07:56,860 thing to keep in mind here and like you 169 00:08:01,650 --> 00:07:59,260 just said with the disarming nuclear 170 00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:01,660 weapons and things like that and in 171 00:08:06,030 --> 00:08:03,430 other interactions that these things 172 00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:06,040 have reportedly caused you know just 173 00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:07,950 because those things aren't necessarily 174 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:11,110 done out of malevolence they're not a 175 00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:14,650 hostile act the fact the simple fact 176 00:08:20,010 --> 00:08:17,260 that they seem to have the ability to do 177 00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:20,020 that that again is where potential 178 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:22,030 threat comes in because you don't know 179 00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:24,610 the motives you know behind that is this 180 00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:28,270 just an accidental you know result of 181 00:08:34,290 --> 00:08:32,590 some electromagnetic interference or you 182 00:08:36,150 --> 00:08:34,300 know why these things are happening we 183 00:08:38,430 --> 00:08:36,160 don't know we don't know the why we 184 00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:38,440 don't know the motive if there even is a 185 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:40,960 motive but we do have have these objects 186 00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:43,690 in the sky we do have our reactions to 187 00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:46,150 them and there's just a whole lot of 188 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:49,570 unknowns there that cause a you know 189 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:51,850 potential situation and until you have 190 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:54,490 all of the data all of the information 191 00:09:00,000 --> 00:08:58,000 to make it make a reasonable decision I 192 00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:00,010 don't think you have that information to 193 00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:02,080 determine to cross it off the list of a 194 00:09:05,850 --> 00:09:04,420 potential threat and I've seen a lot of 195 00:09:07,530 --> 00:09:05,860 things going around recently because 196 00:09:10,830 --> 00:09:07,540 this has been such a hot topic you know 197 00:09:13,260 --> 00:09:10,840 people's sassy responses and and good 198 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:13,270 analogies too and one analogy that I 199 00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:16,210 enjoyed because it involved swimming 200 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:17,710 pools and we have tons of swimming pools 201 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:19,450 here in Phoenix because like Shane said 202 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:23,110 is 175 degrees right now in swimming 203 00:09:26,970 --> 00:09:24,730 pools right there are lots of swimming 204 00:09:29,460 --> 00:09:26,980 pools and swimming pools are nothing 205 00:09:31,290 --> 00:09:29,470 they're just pools of water they're just 206 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:31,300 these big things in many different 207 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:33,490 shapes filled with water that people use 208 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,290 for fun sitting in people's backyards 209 00:09:39,450 --> 00:09:37,600 the pools themselves aren't dangerous 210 00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:39,460 they're not trying to hurt us they're 211 00:09:44,610 --> 00:09:42,550 not necessarily a threat but we still 212 00:09:45,810 --> 00:09:44,620 put fences around them because children 213 00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:45,820 fall in the pool and 214 00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:47,920 and die all the time it happens all the 215 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:50,350 time every year here in Arizona it's a 216 00:09:54,810 --> 00:09:52,090 big deal and all around the world 217 00:09:58,110 --> 00:09:54,820 obviously but the pools themselves are 218 00:10:00,180 --> 00:09:58,120 not hostile yet we still view them as a 219 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:00,190 potential threat so we take appropriate 220 00:10:06,810 --> 00:10:03,370 actions to prevent anything bad from 221 00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:06,820 happening with UFOs it's not that simple 222 00:10:11,220 --> 00:10:10,120 obviously because again we don't know 223 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:11,230 what we're dealing with we're not 224 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:13,090 dealing with one thing every UFO is 225 00:10:18,210 --> 00:10:15,010 different so it's almost impossible to 226 00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:18,220 figure out how you know if at all to 227 00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:20,950 respond we can't put up a fence and and 228 00:10:26,910 --> 00:10:24,100 have the the issue dealt with absolutely 229 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:26,920 I think it's the human condition it 230 00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:28,570 really is Jason I'm glad you brought 231 00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:32,200 that up I mean we as human beings are 232 00:10:37,950 --> 00:10:35,470 defensive by nature so I mean we will 233 00:10:40,770 --> 00:10:37,960 always find a way to find a threat with 234 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:40,780 anything we do I think that's just the 235 00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:42,970 way we are and when that gets amplified 236 00:10:46,830 --> 00:10:44,710 by our military that's a whole other 237 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:46,840 level so yeah good point 238 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:47,890 really good point what do you think 239 00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:51,010 about the shame yeah I think you know a 240 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:54,580 couple different takes on it first of 241 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:56,410 all like your analogy like I have horses 242 00:11:01,380 --> 00:10:58,210 right and I have a well-trained horse 243 00:11:04,260 --> 00:11:01,390 and it loves me and I love it and 244 00:11:06,060 --> 00:11:04,270 everything's cool but that horse is 245 00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:06,070 still a threat to me because it's a 246 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:08,260 thousand-pound animal it can 247 00:11:12,510 --> 00:11:09,970 accidentally step on my foot and break 248 00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:12,520 it or you know it could get spooked 249 00:11:18,570 --> 00:11:15,190 somehow and I fall off and break my neck 250 00:11:20,460 --> 00:11:18,580 and die you know it's a threat but it's 251 00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:20,470 not the kind it's not an intentional 252 00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:22,750 threat it's it's threatening because of 253 00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:26,920 its you know its existence and its how 254 00:11:32,580 --> 00:11:29,260 it could conflict' with my existence 255 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:32,590 right so I treat it with respect and and 256 00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:34,690 care and not always treat as a threat 257 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:38,200 but so there's that bad angle and I 258 00:11:42,690 --> 00:11:40,090 think what's going on in ufology today 259 00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:42,700 and you know like with a tip and now 260 00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:45,310 with you know unidentified and stuff and 261 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:50,590 these guys are really putting forth the 262 00:11:55,170 --> 00:11:53,170 threat nature of UFOs and some in the 263 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:55,180 UFO community are very upset by that 264 00:12:00,019 --> 00:11:57,490 like no they're often nothing Neverland 265 00:12:03,239 --> 00:12:00,029 you're just trying to NOAA try this 266 00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:03,249 however just through the reasons you 267 00:12:09,210 --> 00:12:06,310 both stated first of all you look at 268 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,220 there's different meanings to threat 269 00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:12,160 right so when you're talking military 270 00:12:18,059 --> 00:12:14,769 and intelligence they interpret threat 271 00:12:21,150 --> 00:12:18,069 in a very specific way so let me 272 00:12:23,579 --> 00:12:21,160 illustrate maybe I do if I could I just 273 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:23,589 like to read a little excerpt from Linda 274 00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,370 Keens book UFOs generals pilots 275 00:12:31,619 --> 00:12:28,720 government officials go on the record 276 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:31,629 and this is quoting basically Nick Pope 277 00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:35,290 but I I always thought his definition or 278 00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:37,870 a explanation of a military or 279 00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:40,480 intelligence threat in relation to UFOs 280 00:12:45,569 --> 00:12:42,910 it's pretty pretty well done it and it 281 00:12:48,090 --> 00:12:45,579 reads this way I says Nick Pope former 282 00:12:50,850 --> 00:12:48,100 mo D official and UFO expert in the UK 283 00:12:53,189 --> 00:12:50,860 says that governments define threat in a 284 00:12:56,129 --> 00:12:53,199 very specific way especially within 285 00:12:59,150 --> 00:12:56,139 military intelligence circles the 286 00:13:03,720 --> 00:12:59,160 formula goes like this threat equals 287 00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:03,730 capability plus intent for example the 288 00:13:10,170 --> 00:13:06,600 United States is aware that the UK has 289 00:13:12,059 --> 00:13:10,180 nuclear weapons that's the threat okay 290 00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:12,069 and therefore could launch a nuclear 291 00:13:19,049 --> 00:13:15,519 attack on America that is the capability 292 00:13:22,110 --> 00:13:19,059 but since the UK has no intent to launch 293 00:13:25,170 --> 00:13:22,120 such an attack the United States faces 294 00:13:27,210 --> 00:13:25,180 no threat in this regard so point poke 295 00:13:29,460 --> 00:13:27,220 points out that we certainly know that 296 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:29,470 UFOs have the capability of being a 297 00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:31,689 threat given they're like a horse 298 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:34,480 fantastic speed maneuverability far 299 00:13:39,650 --> 00:13:37,120 superior to our own technology but in 300 00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:39,660 this case the intent of UFOs is 301 00:13:46,379 --> 00:13:43,800 completely unknown and therefore 302 00:13:49,439 --> 00:13:46,389 immeasurable because of that fact then 303 00:13:52,549 --> 00:13:49,449 UFOs must be taken seriously as possible 304 00:13:54,809 --> 00:13:52,559 threats so I think when you see that on 305 00:13:57,150 --> 00:13:54,819 unidentified and remember these are 306 00:13:59,610 --> 00:13:57,160 military guys intelligence guys and 307 00:14:01,949 --> 00:13:59,620 they're bringing cases that our military 308 00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:01,959 cases write cases we probably never even 309 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:04,480 heard of first of all thank you thank 310 00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:06,490 you because that expands our knowledge 311 00:14:11,980 --> 00:14:09,910 and understanding of it but in addition 312 00:14:15,190 --> 00:14:11,990 it helps us understand 313 00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:15,200 that our government's reaction and some 314 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:16,910 of the things that they do and have done 315 00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:19,850 and probably will do on that basis and 316 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:21,830 to me I think that's logical and thank 317 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:23,810 goodness there is somebody out there 318 00:14:30,430 --> 00:14:27,130 thinking that way because we do not know 319 00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:30,440 and so yeah for 70 years they've not you 320 00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:31,910 know done anything particularly 321 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:33,470 threatening and that that whole thing 322 00:14:39,220 --> 00:14:36,050 but you know we don't know yet so we 323 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:39,230 should you know have that posture at 324 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:40,850 least not not to be threatening 325 00:14:46,930 --> 00:14:43,760 ourselves but to be prepared if in fact 326 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:46,940 they ever approved to be threatening so 327 00:14:52,540 --> 00:14:49,600 that's kind of want one angle on threat 328 00:14:55,420 --> 00:14:52,550 the other to me and this is this comes 329 00:14:58,540 --> 00:14:55,430 from some research I did from a paper 330 00:15:01,000 --> 00:14:58,550 called UFOs and sovereignty by Alexander 331 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:01,010 Wendt and Raymond Duval and these guys 332 00:15:07,180 --> 00:15:04,450 they're two political scientists who 333 00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:07,190 analyze the government's behavior for 334 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:10,880 these 75 years regarding UFOs and it's a 335 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:12,800 super complex and big long thing and we 336 00:15:17,530 --> 00:15:14,330 won't go into all that but one of the 337 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:17,540 things that they touched on is the fact 338 00:15:24,610 --> 00:15:21,770 that because UFOs you know whoever has 339 00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:24,620 created eminence is operating them and 340 00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:26,990 and all of that they're clearly far 341 00:15:31,540 --> 00:15:29,360 superior to human beings at least 342 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:31,550 they're technologists and so forth and 343 00:15:37,510 --> 00:15:33,649 if they ever do come and present them 344 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:37,520 themselves governments well they use 345 00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:39,890 this illustration they said if if some 346 00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:42,529 superior being manifested itself here 347 00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:45,550 like maybe Jesus is in the second coming 348 00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:48,529 and they demonstrate this superiority to 349 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:51,560 human beings who are human beings going 350 00:15:57,810 --> 00:15:54,050 to follow are they going to follow the 351 00:15:59,019 --> 00:15:57,820 superior being or the failed States 352 00:16:01,240 --> 00:15:59,029 nation-states 353 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:01,250 on this earth the global network of 354 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:03,770 these separate disparate governments who 355 00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:07,130 frankly have you know 200 of them with 356 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:10,430 by far the majority do not take care of 357 00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:12,529 their people very well let's just put it 358 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:16,910 that way right so if if others present 359 00:16:22,510 --> 00:16:19,850 themselves in that way they view it as 360 00:16:25,390 --> 00:16:22,520 an existential threat to our 361 00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,400 governmental system on earth and that 362 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:27,680 I don't think that gets enough play we 363 00:16:32,650 --> 00:16:30,050 always focus on the you know the the 364 00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:32,660 military threat aspect but you know you 365 00:16:37,810 --> 00:16:35,110 there has to be more of an exponent to 366 00:16:40,540 --> 00:16:37,820 playing the schizophrenic behavior of 367 00:16:43,150 --> 00:16:40,550 our governments you know that that we've 368 00:16:45,340 --> 00:16:43,160 seen for these 75 years and to that to 369 00:16:47,770 --> 00:16:45,350 me that makes a lot of sense they again 370 00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:47,780 provide a lot more powerful reason and 371 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:51,260 logic an example else but I just wanted 372 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:52,850 to bring that wound up because no one 373 00:16:57,130 --> 00:16:54,770 really talks about that aspect of it 374 00:17:00,820 --> 00:16:57,140 much but I think it's probably as much 375 00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:00,830 or greater a driving force than even the 376 00:17:06,370 --> 00:17:03,740 military threat because again it not 377 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:06,380 demonstrated you know an intent to 378 00:17:11,140 --> 00:17:09,410 threaten us so I think maybe that's one 379 00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:11,150 of the things that explains why they act 380 00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:13,310 the way they do I think Shane said it 381 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:16,550 all I would just elaborate by saying I 382 00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:18,890 think that's why our government has had 383 00:17:24,340 --> 00:17:21,260 plausible deniability for so long when 384 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:24,350 it comes to this issue like instead of 385 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:27,290 acknowledging it and admitting we don't 386 00:17:32,580 --> 00:17:29,210 control our skies or our nation's 387 00:17:35,860 --> 00:17:32,590 borders and in the air or in the sea 388 00:17:40,210 --> 00:17:35,870 it's not happening you're imagining it 389 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:40,220 it's it's explainable and I think now 390 00:17:46,330 --> 00:17:43,970 we're seeing with the Navy and the DoD 391 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:46,340 officially acknowledging a phenomenon in 392 00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:50,210 our skies that's a big shift in what you 393 00:17:56,110 --> 00:17:52,190 said Shane in terms of that existential 394 00:17:57,970 --> 00:17:56,120 question of what's beyond the government 395 00:18:00,250 --> 00:17:57,980 when it comes to this and like you said 396 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:00,260 yeah if a superior intelligence came 397 00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:02,810 down and said hey we don't care about 398 00:18:06,490 --> 00:18:04,670 your nation's borders we don't care if 399 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:06,500 you speak different languages have 400 00:18:11,230 --> 00:18:09,050 different religious beliefs like we made 401 00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:11,240 it here we're here we could get rid of 402 00:18:17,650 --> 00:18:13,190 you in an instant who are you gonna 403 00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:17,660 follow us or your quote-unquote leader 404 00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:20,240 of your nation yeah so I think that's a 405 00:18:23,740 --> 00:18:21,800 really good point and I think we're 406 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:23,750 seeing a really interesting shift in the 407 00:18:30,190 --> 00:18:26,570 way the military is now acknowledging 408 00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:30,200 the topic and that could be a huge play 409 00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:33,470 moving forward with the issue yeah but 410 00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:36,320 with both of you guys sort of bashing 411 00:18:39,340 --> 00:18:37,430 government here 412 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:39,350 I think we've guaranteed 413 00:18:44,170 --> 00:18:42,290 another stellar review on Apple podcast 414 00:18:47,170 --> 00:18:44,180 because we've established that this 415 00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:47,180 podcast has more left EBS I haven't 416 00:18:55,690 --> 00:18:49,750 gotten one of those in a while but oh 417 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:55,700 I've got plenty I said I am glad we have 418 00:19:00,790 --> 00:18:57,770 the military thinking that way and 419 00:19:03,250 --> 00:19:00,800 protecting us so it isn't all bad well 420 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:03,260 our wonderful fans who leave the 421 00:19:08,650 --> 00:19:05,330 comments about left EBS or different 422 00:19:10,810 --> 00:19:08,660 people Wow alright well on a related 423 00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:10,820 topic let's talk about season 2 of 424 00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:12,830 unidentified inside America's UFO 425 00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:14,870 investigation that just premiered on 426 00:19:18,940 --> 00:19:17,180 Saturday July 11th what did you guys 427 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:18,950 think of the episode did Ryan did you 428 00:19:23,530 --> 00:19:21,530 see it yeah yeah I watched it on yeah 429 00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:23,540 maybe a week ago or so one of those 430 00:19:29,020 --> 00:19:26,240 advanced ones but um it aired last night 431 00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:29,030 I believe the ratings I heard were 432 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:32,480 really stellar and I thought it was 433 00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:33,410 great 434 00:19:39,670 --> 00:19:36,080 UFOs in combat I believe it was titled 435 00:19:42,250 --> 00:19:39,680 and we got some new military encounters 436 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:42,260 one of which really blew me away with 437 00:19:51,130 --> 00:19:46,250 the the army specialists in Afghanistan 438 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:51,140 that that was really interesting and I 439 00:19:58,540 --> 00:19:53,600 was happy to see all our players are bad 440 00:20:00,610 --> 00:19:58,550 Chris Mellon we sell is Ando and yeah 441 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:00,620 yeah I thought it was good and we got 442 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:03,890 some interesting connections back to the 443 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:05,840 tick-tack UFO maybe that's what these 444 00:20:12,970 --> 00:20:08,330 guys are seeing in Afghanistan as well 445 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:12,980 so I think I think unidentified they're 446 00:20:17,530 --> 00:20:15,170 trying to make connections between what 447 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:17,540 these things could be and that it wasn't 448 00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:21,530 just over the seas of California where 449 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:23,360 they saw this ticks act maybe we're 450 00:20:26,530 --> 00:20:25,370 seeing these in Afghanistan maybe we're 451 00:20:29,290 --> 00:20:26,540 seeing these in other parts of the 452 00:20:30,970 --> 00:20:29,300 United States um so yeah I I thought it 453 00:20:33,550 --> 00:20:30,980 was a really good opener for their new 454 00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:33,560 season and it also introduced us to a 455 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:35,510 new format I think too we're gonna be 456 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:38,330 covering certain topics now which I find 457 00:20:42,730 --> 00:20:41,450 really interesting and yeah I'm excited 458 00:20:46,090 --> 00:20:42,740 to see where the series goes from here 459 00:20:47,950 --> 00:20:46,100 did you see the episode Shane yeah yeah 460 00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:47,960 I thought it was terrific too and I 461 00:20:56,270 --> 00:20:51,660 think the big takeaway for me was that 462 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:56,280 again military UFO encounters have not 463 00:21:00,800 --> 00:20:58,530 been available to the public and now 464 00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:00,810 they're being made available I mean oh 465 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:02,310 my gosh this is the thing we've been 466 00:21:08,030 --> 00:21:05,130 asking for for those 75 years right and 467 00:21:09,650 --> 00:21:08,040 and it's happening and I mean at least I 468 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:09,660 wasn't familiar with those I don't know 469 00:21:14,060 --> 00:21:12,090 if they were in the public domain or not 470 00:21:17,930 --> 00:21:14,070 but you know I found it very interesting 471 00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:17,940 they had cases from I think it was 472 00:21:27,740 --> 00:21:21,510 Kosovo from the first Gulf War 473 00:21:32,930 --> 00:21:27,750 first Vietnam and Afghanistan and you 474 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:32,940 know involving you know b-52s and a TENS 475 00:21:38,090 --> 00:21:35,250 and helicopters and just this whole 476 00:21:40,780 --> 00:21:38,100 variety of things and and again to me 477 00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:40,790 when you when you have different 478 00:21:45,620 --> 00:21:44,580 contexts for different encounters kind 479 00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:45,630 of like you are alluding to earlier 480 00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:48,420 Jason you know it may not be one fun 481 00:21:52,970 --> 00:21:51,780 thing and and that that is interesting 482 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:52,980 and and you know there are different 483 00:21:57,620 --> 00:21:55,200 types and they're different shapes and I 484 00:22:00,650 --> 00:21:57,630 think what this does is it also helps 485 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:00,660 corroborate the public cases that we 486 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:03,090 have in like all of our classic cases 487 00:22:07,130 --> 00:22:05,130 from Roswell to the Phoenix lights and 488 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:07,140 that kind of thing when you have 489 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:09,690 military people especially in the 490 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:11,970 theatres of war you know having these 491 00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:14,610 experiences and they they run similar to 492 00:22:20,090 --> 00:22:17,520 the public experiences then to me again 493 00:22:21,890 --> 00:22:20,100 military cases are highly credible 494 00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:21,900 because of the people involved the 495 00:22:25,790 --> 00:22:24,000 equipment you know like you know you 496 00:22:28,190 --> 00:22:25,800 just think about radar systems you know 497 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:28,200 but those are closed systems those are 498 00:22:33,410 --> 00:22:31,110 you know instruments and they're they're 499 00:22:35,150 --> 00:22:33,420 patched and they're maintained and 500 00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:35,160 they're highly trained operators of 501 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:36,960 those things you know so when you when 502 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:38,850 you collect that kind of data it's it's 503 00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:41,970 super valuable you know and so all of 504 00:22:48,410 --> 00:22:44,910 those things I think us becoming aware 505 00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:48,420 of those actually you know supports all 506 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:49,980 the public stuff that we've seen all 507 00:22:53,210 --> 00:22:51,090 these years and that we always talk 508 00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:53,220 about so I think it's you know really 509 00:23:00,130 --> 00:22:56,310 really gonna be a valuable thing to the 510 00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:00,140 whole you know ufology and whole and how 511 00:23:04,010 --> 00:23:03,030 people in the public learnt UFO people 512 00:23:11,150 --> 00:23:04,020 it 513 00:23:13,370 --> 00:23:11,160 again goes back to well maybe these guys 514 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:13,380 aren't wackos these are their people who 515 00:23:17,690 --> 00:23:15,690 you know I've been reporting UFOs 516 00:23:20,090 --> 00:23:17,700 because they've been reported in the 517 00:23:21,950 --> 00:23:20,100 military for all these decades and no 518 00:23:24,110 --> 00:23:21,960 one just heard about it now it's coming 519 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:24,120 out so I mean I think that it's it's 520 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:27,330 good for everybody to have it go down 521 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:32,010 like that yeah I mean it it is 522 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:34,530 interesting to see the audience that the 523 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:37,050 show is reaching and they had a 524 00:23:41,780 --> 00:23:39,570 tremendous response to last season and 525 00:23:44,420 --> 00:23:41,790 had all these military people coming 526 00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:44,430 forward with their own sighting 527 00:23:48,290 --> 00:23:46,470 experiences that's really cool and we're 528 00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:48,300 gonna see that and we already did see 529 00:23:52,820 --> 00:23:49,830 that in the first episode we'll see more 530 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:52,830 of that the results of that on this 531 00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:55,200 second season like you mentioned not 532 00:23:58,100 --> 00:23:56,400 surprisingly it's focused on the 533 00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:58,110 military but that is the focus of this 534 00:24:02,750 --> 00:24:00,960 show and you know after seeing the first 535 00:24:04,970 --> 00:24:02,760 episode a couple weeks ago when I wrote 536 00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:04,980 a little preview for the season on rogue 537 00:24:09,710 --> 00:24:07,500 planet I posted about it on social media 538 00:24:11,570 --> 00:24:09,720 with a cheesy comment about how I hope 539 00:24:14,030 --> 00:24:11,580 your breath still stinks because season 540 00:24:16,370 --> 00:24:14,040 two is giving you more tic tacs and that 541 00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:16,380 is certainly true I mean there they are 542 00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:19,380 all about the tic tac and I don't know 543 00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:21,840 to me it seems like there it's a weird 544 00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:23,640 trying to force a connection between 545 00:24:30,050 --> 00:24:26,520 other sightings and the 2004 Nimitz 546 00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:30,060 stik-tek UFO encounter you know even 547 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:32,130 comments about oh yeah that that looks 548 00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:34,050 like a tic-tac or that sounds like a 549 00:24:38,180 --> 00:24:36,360 tic-tac you know maybe that's a good 550 00:24:40,610 --> 00:24:38,190 thing maybe it's not I think that's kind 551 00:24:42,770 --> 00:24:40,620 of an unnecessary forced connection I 552 00:24:45,710 --> 00:24:42,780 mean we again we we had this need to 553 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:45,720 find connections with things in life and 554 00:24:51,950 --> 00:24:47,970 with UFOs I think most times there there 555 00:24:53,870 --> 00:24:51,960 aren't connections and you know Tom 556 00:24:56,420 --> 00:24:53,880 DeLonge even posted on social media 557 00:24:58,490 --> 00:24:56,430 either today or yesterday about how 558 00:25:02,060 --> 00:24:58,500 they're going to use religious texts and 559 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:02,070 add that to their their AI for looking 560 00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:05,850 for patterns throughout history and you 561 00:25:09,910 --> 00:25:07,350 know that's that's interesting and all 562 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:09,920 but again people change over time with 563 00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:13,170 how we describe things the things we're 564 00:25:20,220 --> 00:25:16,480 used to seeing and you know I would 565 00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:20,230 bet that a lot of what people are 566 00:25:25,470 --> 00:25:22,390 calling Tic Tacs now because that's just 567 00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:25,480 such a buzz term that people new to this 568 00:25:30,990 --> 00:25:28,000 are are thinking that is a thing these 569 00:25:32,790 --> 00:25:31,000 tic-tac UFOs we've seen so many shapes 570 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:32,800 over the years and I would guess that 571 00:25:38,430 --> 00:25:34,930 people who described something as a 572 00:25:41,010 --> 00:25:38,440 cigar shaped UFO years ago would now 573 00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:41,020 call that a tic-tac UFO just because a 574 00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:42,910 similar shape you know these things that 575 00:25:49,230 --> 00:25:46,960 are you know kind of elongated it look 576 00:25:51,030 --> 00:25:49,240 like a cigar or something you know these 577 00:25:52,830 --> 00:25:51,040 these shapes change over time again I 578 00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:52,840 mean some of my favorites and that 579 00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:54,400 that's a book in itself we should write 580 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:56,110 some time about different shapes of UFOs 581 00:25:59,100 --> 00:25:57,850 but yeah the British are the best with 582 00:26:01,320 --> 00:25:59,110 their shapes I mean they've got they've 583 00:26:03,180 --> 00:26:01,330 had hamburger UFOs and things like that 584 00:26:04,770 --> 00:26:03,190 I love reading some of those sighting 585 00:26:06,660 --> 00:26:04,780 reports of how people describe these 586 00:26:08,790 --> 00:26:06,670 things but we're certainly seeing more 587 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:08,800 more tick tack UFOs now because that's 588 00:26:14,250 --> 00:26:11,890 been put out there into into the 589 00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:14,260 community and into the thought process 590 00:26:19,380 --> 00:26:16,960 and now we've got this this show you 591 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:19,390 know pushing the UFO narrative driving 592 00:26:24,450 --> 00:26:21,610 the UFO narrative and and this focus on 593 00:26:26,490 --> 00:26:24,460 tick tack UFOs and and trying to find 594 00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:26,500 tick tack UFOs from all over the world 595 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:28,030 so that's interesting it'll be 596 00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:31,330 interesting to see what that does to the 597 00:26:36,330 --> 00:26:33,910 the discussion to the dialogue and 598 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:36,340 discourse on UFOs going forward but I'm 599 00:26:39,150 --> 00:26:37,810 excited to see where the season goes 600 00:26:42,180 --> 00:26:39,160 again I think it's really cool we're 601 00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:42,190 seeing these this Millett military 602 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:45,030 testimony coming forward from people who 603 00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:46,930 obviously the ones we're hearing from 604 00:26:51,090 --> 00:26:48,370 are no longer in the military they're 605 00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:51,100 able to talk about it but yeah the the 606 00:26:55,260 --> 00:26:53,110 really old ones are really cool to me 607 00:26:58,500 --> 00:26:55,270 because especially people you know like 608 00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:58,510 the Vietnam era and things like that the 609 00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:00,640 stigma was so much worse than it is now 610 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:02,830 and those were just things you did not 611 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:05,650 talk about and these are people who even 612 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:07,930 if they did happen to tell somebody 613 00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:09,610 about it which you know that is 614 00:27:12,570 --> 00:27:11,350 extremely rare that they would tell 615 00:27:15,870 --> 00:27:12,580 anybody about something like that 616 00:27:17,370 --> 00:27:15,880 because of the ridicule factor but you 617 00:27:19,910 --> 00:27:17,380 know for them to be able to unload that 618 00:27:22,770 --> 00:27:19,920 and how people take them seriously 619 00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:22,780 that's got to be such a relief such a 620 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:25,120 such a burden that they're unable to 621 00:27:30,090 --> 00:27:28,090 unload and finally feel I'm not crazy 622 00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:30,100 you know and people are not 623 00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:31,870 calling me crazy and they're genuinely 624 00:27:37,230 --> 00:27:34,110 interested in hearing about what I 625 00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:37,240 experienced and maybe even trying to 626 00:27:41,310 --> 00:27:39,580 find some answers yeah I think the 627 00:27:44,159 --> 00:27:41,320 weight has been lifted off of a lot of 628 00:27:47,310 --> 00:27:44,169 these witnesses shoulders I mean you're 629 00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:47,320 talking back Vietnam or even earlier the 630 00:27:54,060 --> 00:27:50,169 idea of shell-shocked and and whatnot in 631 00:27:56,370 --> 00:27:54,070 Gulf War Syndrome I mean you you were 632 00:27:58,380 --> 00:27:56,380 caught dead talking about a UFO because 633 00:28:01,200 --> 00:27:58,390 that is a telltale sign that you're 634 00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:01,210 suffering this what we now term PTSD and 635 00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:04,960 whatnot so I mean right there if you 636 00:28:11,460 --> 00:28:07,630 wanted to get out of the military or out 637 00:28:13,919 --> 00:28:11,470 of war report a UFO that seems to be the 638 00:28:15,899 --> 00:28:13,929 way to go to get out of it but a lot of 639 00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:15,909 these guys were doing it for their 640 00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:17,710 country and serving their country and 641 00:28:22,590 --> 00:28:20,500 they didn't want to leave so let's take 642 00:28:24,539 --> 00:28:22,600 for instance the guy the witness that 643 00:28:26,669 --> 00:28:24,549 saw the Vietnam UFO in that first 644 00:28:28,049 --> 00:28:26,679 unidentified episode if he had talked 645 00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:28,059 about it then like they probably would 646 00:28:32,940 --> 00:28:30,640 have got rid of it so yeah I think it's 647 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:32,950 interesting the pressure to not come 648 00:28:36,299 --> 00:28:34,450 forward with these things within the 649 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:36,309 military and again we're seeing that 650 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,530 shift and I think this show and this 651 00:28:42,180 --> 00:28:40,720 organization have a lot to do with that 652 00:28:44,669 --> 00:28:42,190 no matter what you think of them whether 653 00:28:47,370 --> 00:28:44,679 you follow them support them demonize 654 00:28:50,789 --> 00:28:47,380 them they are changing the conversation 655 00:28:52,649 --> 00:28:50,799 and that's interesting let's hop 656 00:28:55,380 --> 00:28:52,659 straight from talking about unidentified 657 00:28:57,750 --> 00:28:55,390 to the related topic of the intelligence 658 00:29:00,360 --> 00:28:57,760 Authorization Act for fiscal year 2021 659 00:29:03,870 --> 00:29:00,370 this bill introduced in the Senate on 660 00:29:05,909 --> 00:29:03,880 June 8th that if enacted would require a 661 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:05,919 report to be assembled by the Office of 662 00:29:10,350 --> 00:29:08,289 Naval Intelligence and others and it 663 00:29:12,980 --> 00:29:10,360 would essentially paint a picture of the 664 00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:12,990 current assessment of the UFO situation 665 00:29:18,770 --> 00:29:16,390 at a government level so what are your 666 00:29:22,770 --> 00:29:18,780 thoughts on this proposed bill Shane 667 00:29:25,049 --> 00:29:22,780 yeah I mean I think it's a definitely a 668 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:25,059 step in the right direction I think it 669 00:29:31,169 --> 00:29:28,330 it's a baby step but we'll take it I 670 00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:31,179 think also that it came to be because of 671 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:35,200 the efforts of of T TSA so if they've 672 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:36,730 accomplished something in that regard 673 00:29:43,890 --> 00:29:42,850 that hasn't happened ever and so I think 674 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:43,900 it's it's very 675 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:46,210 important in that regard however I do 676 00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:48,730 approach it with some caution because 677 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:51,550 it's still not a lot yet still hasn't 678 00:29:55,980 --> 00:29:53,170 really happened it's just it's a 679 00:29:58,230 --> 00:29:55,990 suggestion so so far and then the 680 00:30:02,870 --> 00:29:58,240 requirements are to produce a public 681 00:30:05,340 --> 00:30:02,880 report and it can have it a as I recall 682 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:05,350 classified addendum to it that that 683 00:30:09,330 --> 00:30:07,570 would not be released so uh you dare 684 00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:09,340 kind of cut pepper in both faces there 685 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:13,150 which I think is wise but you know I 686 00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:18,210 just fear the project Bluebook sort of 687 00:30:24,090 --> 00:30:21,190 whitewashing of of the information 688 00:30:25,980 --> 00:30:24,100 that's reported if I mean and I think 689 00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:25,990 what's happening is you know you that 690 00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:28,150 there is a battle going on in our 691 00:30:33,090 --> 00:30:30,400 government right now between two camps 692 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:33,100 okay not everyone in the government is 693 00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:35,170 aware of this issue but I'm talking 694 00:30:40,020 --> 00:30:38,260 about there's two specific groups that 695 00:30:42,330 --> 00:30:40,030 are aware of what's going on 696 00:30:45,150 --> 00:30:42,340 one group of closes releasing 697 00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:45,160 information the other group supports it 698 00:30:50,070 --> 00:30:47,710 I think this is like you know Luis 699 00:30:52,590 --> 00:30:50,080 Alison Dale coming out of the military 700 00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:52,600 was he's from the camp that wants to 701 00:30:57,780 --> 00:30:55,030 release information was stonewalled 702 00:31:00,270 --> 00:30:57,790 couldn't get it done on the inside so he 703 00:31:02,370 --> 00:31:00,280 his attempt on the outside of the PTSA 704 00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:02,380 and you know it's moving the the meat 705 00:31:06,510 --> 00:31:04,000 the meat or something okay so that's 706 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:06,520 that's awesome but um and he's even 707 00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:08,530 spoke up those two different camps and 708 00:31:14,370 --> 00:31:12,310 so who ultimately is gonna win I don't 709 00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:14,380 know I mean I like to think that the 710 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:17,350 truth always wins out but they end it's 711 00:31:22,770 --> 00:31:19,840 been 75 years we've been putting up with 712 00:31:26,460 --> 00:31:22,780 with the lie so I guess that's what's 713 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:26,470 got me skeptical but I'm hopeful that's 714 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:30,010 oddly well and to that point yeah it is 715 00:31:35,850 --> 00:31:33,250 it is a little confusing at least from 716 00:31:37,410 --> 00:31:35,860 my perspective you know like with with 717 00:31:40,260 --> 00:31:37,420 Willa's Ando you know with his 718 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:40,270 frustration and and leaving and trying 719 00:31:47,130 --> 00:31:44,050 to do things outside the government yet 720 00:31:49,590 --> 00:31:47,140 the efforts now are focused on doing 721 00:31:51,570 --> 00:31:49,600 things inside the government and trying 722 00:31:54,390 --> 00:31:51,580 to get you know allies on the inside 723 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:54,400 well we already had allies on the inside 724 00:31:57,190 --> 00:31:56,410 and those allies left we're trying to go 725 00:32:00,220 --> 00:31:57,200 back inside 726 00:32:03,070 --> 00:32:00,230 and then even with like Senator Reid 727 00:32:05,950 --> 00:32:03,080 right top guy in the Senate advocate for 728 00:32:08,350 --> 00:32:05,960 UFOs however he's even said that with 729 00:32:10,509 --> 00:32:08,360 with a tip like he wanted to move it to 730 00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:10,519 a special access program he wanted to 731 00:32:14,710 --> 00:32:12,740 make it even harder for that information 732 00:32:17,950 --> 00:32:14,720 to you know be found by people like us 733 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:17,960 so it's it's a very confusing game when 734 00:32:21,850 --> 00:32:19,970 it comes to politics and the government 735 00:32:23,769 --> 00:32:21,860 and this topic and like you said Shane 736 00:32:25,330 --> 00:32:23,779 with Blue Book and every other 737 00:32:26,919 --> 00:32:25,340 government study that's been done on 738 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:26,929 this we've kind of been down this road 739 00:32:32,259 --> 00:32:29,690 where they've had input from other 740 00:32:34,180 --> 00:32:32,269 people and other organizations within 741 00:32:36,250 --> 00:32:34,190 the military and within the government 742 00:32:39,580 --> 00:32:36,260 they put their information together and 743 00:32:42,220 --> 00:32:39,590 ultimately concluded yeah UFOs nothing 744 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:42,230 here move on so why is this going to be 745 00:32:45,940 --> 00:32:44,690 any different well we'll see and another 746 00:32:48,789 --> 00:32:45,950 thing that's it's always interesting 747 00:32:52,330 --> 00:32:48,799 about these efforts is that it's 748 00:32:55,210 --> 00:32:52,340 intriguing that people who are briefed 749 00:32:57,639 --> 00:32:55,220 on these the this subject and take an 750 00:33:00,039 --> 00:32:57,649 interest in it enough to look into it 751 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:00,049 more or try to make some action happen 752 00:33:03,879 --> 00:33:02,210 these are people in the government and 753 00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:03,889 they're being briefed and given their 754 00:33:08,049 --> 00:33:05,809 their information or having their eyes 755 00:33:11,139 --> 00:33:08,059 open by people in the UFO community 756 00:33:12,669 --> 00:33:11,149 really UFO groups UFO individuals are 757 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:12,679 the ones briefing the government about 758 00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:14,690 what's happening and then the people in 759 00:33:19,810 --> 00:33:16,880 the government go oh wow I didn't know 760 00:33:21,490 --> 00:33:19,820 that let's look into it why are you 761 00:33:23,110 --> 00:33:21,500 getting your information from UFO people 762 00:33:25,060 --> 00:33:23,120 number one and number two why are you 763 00:33:27,220 --> 00:33:25,070 even listening to that why wouldn't you 764 00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:27,230 you know get your information from the 765 00:33:31,210 --> 00:33:29,120 government or from the military if that 766 00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:31,220 information exists you probably would 767 00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:33,049 know about it if you had that interest 768 00:33:37,299 --> 00:33:34,940 but you should be able to find out about 769 00:33:40,269 --> 00:33:37,309 it but it's always been interesting to 770 00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:40,279 me how I mean that feels conspiracy for 771 00:33:44,289 --> 00:33:42,320 sure and it's people it's easy for 772 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:44,299 people to dismiss and say well yeah but 773 00:33:48,430 --> 00:33:46,490 that shows that it's true but you know 774 00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:48,440 people like Steven Greer people like 775 00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:50,960 Paul Hellyer in Canada you know a lot of 776 00:33:56,289 --> 00:33:53,510 his information was based off of a UFO 777 00:33:57,730 --> 00:33:56,299 author who shared information with him 778 00:33:59,350 --> 00:33:57,740 and he goes oh wow 779 00:34:01,360 --> 00:33:59,360 I didn't know that was happening I need 780 00:34:03,310 --> 00:34:01,370 to look into this you know so a lot of 781 00:34:05,019 --> 00:34:03,320 the information is coming from the UFO 782 00:34:07,990 --> 00:34:05,029 community so it raises lots of questions 783 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:08,000 about the narrative that exists where 784 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:10,010 this information is coming from and how 785 00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:10,970 the whole 786 00:34:15,549 --> 00:34:12,980 sort of timeline happens with a lot of 787 00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:15,559 these things is there a real concern 788 00:34:19,419 --> 00:34:17,299 within the government is there anything 789 00:34:21,279 --> 00:34:19,429 that the government has that they can 790 00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:21,289 share with us you know I'm sure they 791 00:34:23,980 --> 00:34:22,609 would like to continue the illusion that 792 00:34:25,990 --> 00:34:23,990 they have all the answers they've got 793 00:34:28,419 --> 00:34:26,000 these secret information that we're not 794 00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:28,429 allowed to have but you know with this 795 00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:30,470 bill if it even passes the Senate then 796 00:34:33,339 --> 00:34:32,089 passes the House then gets signed by the 797 00:34:35,139 --> 00:34:33,349 president into law 798 00:34:37,839 --> 00:34:35,149 like you said Shane it's at their 799 00:34:40,690 --> 00:34:37,849 discretion to disclose what they want 800 00:34:43,089 --> 00:34:40,700 it's up to these individual groups to 801 00:34:46,089 --> 00:34:43,099 say oh yeah here's our information about 802 00:34:47,409 --> 00:34:46,099 UFOs and it's certainly not all the 803 00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:47,419 information but it's what we want to 804 00:34:51,490 --> 00:34:49,609 present to you because you don't need to 805 00:34:52,990 --> 00:34:51,500 know what we're working on over here and 806 00:34:55,210 --> 00:34:53,000 it's the same problems that they 807 00:34:57,339 --> 00:34:55,220 highlight in that in that bill and that 808 00:34:59,319 --> 00:34:57,349 is the lack of communication lack of 809 00:35:01,599 --> 00:34:59,329 cross talk all these different groups 810 00:35:03,370 --> 00:35:01,609 have no idea what the other is doing and 811 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:03,380 a lot of that you know we've got a lot 812 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:05,210 of secrecy going on between different 813 00:35:07,690 --> 00:35:06,410 branches of government and thing 814 00:35:09,819 --> 00:35:07,700 although we're all on the same side 815 00:35:11,620 --> 00:35:09,829 they're doing their own things and 816 00:35:14,740 --> 00:35:11,630 they've got their their own interests at 817 00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:14,750 heart so you know ultimately it's up to 818 00:35:18,819 --> 00:35:16,250 them to put forth the information that's 819 00:35:21,609 --> 00:35:18,829 being requested and you know what winds 820 00:35:23,620 --> 00:35:21,619 up in that report who knows but I'm 821 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:23,630 curious to see and I'm really curious 822 00:35:28,029 --> 00:35:26,690 and skeptical to see if we the public 823 00:35:30,579 --> 00:35:28,039 get to see any of that even though 824 00:35:33,490 --> 00:35:30,589 they've specifically asked for that what 825 00:35:37,059 --> 00:35:33,500 do you think right yeah I I think I 826 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:37,069 think you're right I think this bill or 827 00:35:43,390 --> 00:35:41,930 this Intelligence Committee I'm afraid 828 00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:43,400 it's going to have the opposite effect 829 00:35:48,519 --> 00:35:45,920 that I think a lot of the UFO people 830 00:35:50,499 --> 00:35:48,529 think it's gonna have I do think you're 831 00:35:52,180 --> 00:35:50,509 right I think this is and even Chris 832 00:35:54,220 --> 00:35:52,190 Mellon tweeted out I think last night 833 00:35:56,109 --> 00:35:54,230 this is Project Blue Book for the 21st 834 00:36:00,309 --> 00:35:56,119 century of and I immediately was like 835 00:36:04,180 --> 00:36:00,319 dude no that's not money won because we 836 00:36:06,069 --> 00:36:04,190 now know how filtered and suppressed and 837 00:36:09,249 --> 00:36:06,079 controlled the project Bluebook 838 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:09,259 narrative was in with all of this and 839 00:36:13,749 --> 00:36:11,210 thank God for someone like Hynek coming 840 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:13,759 out in explaining like this is what I 841 00:36:19,569 --> 00:36:15,890 found this is what the government told 842 00:36:22,359 --> 00:36:19,579 you now maybe is this gonna be a project 843 00:36:24,190 --> 00:36:22,369 Bluebook part two I hope not but you're 844 00:36:24,820 --> 00:36:24,200 right if we have this committee doing 845 00:36:26,890 --> 00:36:24,830 this 846 00:36:29,770 --> 00:36:26,900 they control the narrative again and 847 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:29,780 they get to decide what it is and what 848 00:36:37,870 --> 00:36:32,210 the public is going to be told so I do 849 00:36:39,970 --> 00:36:37,880 worry um I I have good and high hopes 850 00:36:42,010 --> 00:36:39,980 that maybe we'll get some cool cases out 851 00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:42,020 of it again but I think the overall 852 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:45,110 issue and the potential for threat and 853 00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:47,210 all of that is going to be in that 854 00:36:52,180 --> 00:36:49,910 classified caveat to this thing um and 855 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:52,190 again we understand the need for that 856 00:36:56,230 --> 00:36:54,050 yeah we I think the three of us can 857 00:36:58,510 --> 00:36:56,240 agree uh we understand why this topic 858 00:37:01,030 --> 00:36:58,520 needs to be classified at a level but at 859 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:01,040 the same time I think those who really 860 00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:04,610 support the work of Mellon and T TSA and 861 00:37:11,710 --> 00:37:07,520 everything just I urge them to keep in 862 00:37:14,170 --> 00:37:11,720 mind that they may not they may not give 863 00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:14,180 us the information that you so want and 864 00:37:20,230 --> 00:37:17,510 that that's sobering or or yeah the the 865 00:37:22,780 --> 00:37:20,240 result of that coming out and the the 866 00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:22,790 results or lack of results you know 867 00:37:26,890 --> 00:37:25,250 could be quite detrimental you know so 868 00:37:29,170 --> 00:37:26,900 there's always that to you and here's 869 00:37:30,730 --> 00:37:29,180 the thing with with the Chris Mullins 870 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:30,740 comment about Project Blue Book for the 871 00:37:36,070 --> 00:37:33,490 21st century didn't we already have that 872 00:37:37,630 --> 00:37:36,080 raises questions about a tip right I 873 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:37,640 mean we don't really know what a chip 874 00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:39,170 did there was this whole thing about all 875 00:37:42,580 --> 00:37:40,730 they didn't do anything with UFOs and 876 00:37:44,230 --> 00:37:42,590 their what they did things with UFOs and 877 00:37:46,660 --> 00:37:44,240 we've always been told they were the 878 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:46,670 pentagon's UFO you know research project 879 00:37:51,610 --> 00:37:48,290 that's essentially what Blue Book was 880 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:51,620 for the Air Force so I mean didn't we 881 00:37:56,260 --> 00:37:53,450 already have a Blue Book for the 21st 882 00:37:59,410 --> 00:37:56,270 century you know that was that was 2007 883 00:38:01,750 --> 00:37:59,420 to 2012 and allegedly still ongoing and 884 00:38:03,430 --> 00:38:01,760 now we have the UAP task force and 885 00:38:06,130 --> 00:38:03,440 that's supposedly you know the new 886 00:38:08,140 --> 00:38:06,140 version of a chip so I mean it seems 887 00:38:10,390 --> 00:38:08,150 like we already have a Blue Book for the 888 00:38:12,190 --> 00:38:10,400 21st century but Chris Mullins comment 889 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:12,200 makes that very confusing as well so 890 00:38:17,290 --> 00:38:14,690 plus I mean the other interesting thing 891 00:38:19,690 --> 00:38:17,300 too about this bill right is that this 892 00:38:23,230 --> 00:38:19,700 proposed bill doesn't discuss public 893 00:38:25,990 --> 00:38:23,240 sightings or reports at all so it can't 894 00:38:28,150 --> 00:38:26,000 truly be a you know a good analogy with 895 00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:28,160 Project Blue Book because Blue Book was 896 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:30,830 a lot of public cases it was sighting 897 00:38:35,050 --> 00:38:32,690 reports from the public that they were 898 00:38:35,859 --> 00:38:35,060 investigating yeah military sightings 899 00:38:40,029 --> 00:38:35,869 are 900 00:38:42,190 --> 00:38:40,039 1% of the 99% UFO reports so I think 901 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:42,200 yeah that's that's a really good point 902 00:38:45,999 --> 00:38:43,490 to make juice and this bill is 903 00:38:49,059 --> 00:38:46,009 specifically focused on military all 904 00:38:50,650 --> 00:38:49,069 military and only on a few groups within 905 00:38:52,809 --> 00:38:50,660 the military I mean they're not even 906 00:38:54,819 --> 00:38:52,819 bringing in all government bodies 907 00:38:56,410 --> 00:38:54,829 they're not bringing in the FAA like 908 00:38:59,170 --> 00:38:56,420 they're not interested in that stuff 909 00:39:01,239 --> 00:38:59,180 this is all military that seems a little 910 00:39:03,870 --> 00:39:01,249 ridiculous to me and I think that proves 911 00:39:06,730 --> 00:39:03,880 once again why we need civilian 912 00:39:09,370 --> 00:39:06,740 investigatory programs and organizations 913 00:39:12,789 --> 00:39:09,380 and and independent researchers out 914 00:39:13,809 --> 00:39:12,799 there doing the dirty work you know 915 00:39:17,140 --> 00:39:13,819 traveling around the country 916 00:39:19,180 --> 00:39:17,150 interviewing people and whatnot who are 917 00:39:22,269 --> 00:39:19,190 also having these experiences other than 918 00:39:24,999 --> 00:39:22,279 military yeah so we can remain realistic 919 00:39:26,859 --> 00:39:25,009 but I'm still you know hopeful and 920 00:39:28,359 --> 00:39:26,869 optimistic that you know something good 921 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:28,369 comes out of that it does start new 922 00:39:33,249 --> 00:39:31,130 discussions it does help people become 923 00:39:35,710 --> 00:39:33,259 aware within the government that there 924 00:39:37,359 --> 00:39:35,720 is first of all a communications problem 925 00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:37,369 they need to get their [\h__\h] together and 926 00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:39,440 being able to to communicate especially 927 00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:41,390 when it comes to this topic to be able 928 00:39:45,339 --> 00:39:43,609 to share that data and you know 929 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:45,349 hopefully get a better understanding of 930 00:39:49,870 --> 00:39:47,930 what's going on and and you know what 931 00:39:51,910 --> 00:39:49,880 they can do to get more more information 932 00:39:54,130 --> 00:39:51,920 about the subject we have to take 933 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:54,140 everything everything with a grain of 934 00:39:59,829 --> 00:39:55,970 salt you have you know you have to be as 935 00:40:01,809 --> 00:39:59,839 balanced as you can and understand you 936 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:01,819 know there are multiple agendas and 937 00:40:06,579 --> 00:40:04,249 politics going on all the time when it 938 00:40:08,979 --> 00:40:06,589 comes to UFOs and you got to keep your 939 00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:08,989 feet on the ground and and just you know 940 00:40:14,049 --> 00:40:10,910 don't put all your eggs in one basket 941 00:40:16,329 --> 00:40:14,059 because as we've learned over and over 942 00:40:18,999 --> 00:40:16,339 you know those eggs are gonna get broken 943 00:40:22,390 --> 00:40:19,009 I mean it just we've been disappointed a 944 00:40:25,420 --> 00:40:22,400 million times right so I just I try not 945 00:40:26,890 --> 00:40:25,430 to get too strongly opinionated and I 946 00:40:29,229 --> 00:40:26,900 always reserve the right to change my 947 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:29,239 mind because new information comes out 948 00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:32,210 but I just think that you know something 949 00:40:37,259 --> 00:40:34,910 your chest and claiming this or that is 950 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:37,269 dangerous dangerous thing to do because 951 00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:39,890 the information the world that we're 952 00:40:44,019 --> 00:40:42,049 living in and this topic and all the 953 00:40:45,579 --> 00:40:44,029 tangents and the people and all the 954 00:40:47,470 --> 00:40:45,589 agendas I mean you can have egg on your 955 00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:47,480 face real quick so yeah I think it's 956 00:40:51,589 --> 00:40:48,480 just you know 957 00:40:53,690 --> 00:40:51,599 be skeptical to a healthy degree be 958 00:40:55,849 --> 00:40:53,700 supportive where where it's warranted 959 00:40:58,430 --> 00:40:55,859 you know be critical where it's 960 00:40:59,839 --> 00:40:58,440 warranted and and you know and just try 961 00:41:02,540 --> 00:40:59,849 and you know stay in the middle of the 962 00:41:04,579 --> 00:41:02,550 road and and take it as it comes and and 963 00:41:07,220 --> 00:41:04,589 you know analyze it with what you know 964 00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:07,230 and you know go ahead and develop some 965 00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:09,270 opinions and theories but just recognize 966 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:11,250 that that's all they are and that they 967 00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:13,050 should be subject to change and that I 968 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:15,359 think that's kind of a safe way to do it 969 00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:17,490 and I think it's not not cowardly but 970 00:41:22,609 --> 00:41:20,609 it's the response or when it is it's a 971 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:22,619 responsible way I agree with you 100% 972 00:41:29,450 --> 00:41:26,130 and on that note the final topic we can 973 00:41:32,329 --> 00:41:29,460 touch on quickly is hype grand claims 974 00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:32,339 and unnamed sources things that have 975 00:41:37,069 --> 00:41:34,200 always been precedent in the UFO field 976 00:41:40,069 --> 00:41:37,079 and are things that thrive on social 977 00:41:42,260 --> 00:41:40,079 media unfortunately predictions are 978 00:41:43,940 --> 00:41:42,270 another thing I'll throw in there and as 979 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:43,950 history is shown it's typically the 980 00:41:48,740 --> 00:41:46,290 wiser move for anybody who expects to be 981 00:41:51,260 --> 00:41:48,750 taken seriously to steer clear of making 982 00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:51,270 predictions related to this topic but 983 00:41:55,700 --> 00:41:53,310 these common problematic issues have 984 00:41:58,190 --> 00:41:55,710 been perfectly Illustrated lately by the 985 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,200 public statements and restatements about 986 00:42:01,790 --> 00:42:00,000 an impending article in The New York 987 00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:01,800 Times about a US government UFO crash 988 00:42:07,370 --> 00:42:04,910 retrieval program now claims like this 989 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:07,380 usually come from people who assert that 990 00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:09,450 they have some secret unnamed source 991 00:42:14,930 --> 00:42:11,790 who's read this amazing information to 992 00:42:18,109 --> 00:42:14,940 them and yeah that may very well be true 993 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:18,119 in some cases however it seems to me 994 00:42:21,829 --> 00:42:20,010 that by publicly spreading around 995 00:42:24,109 --> 00:42:21,839 something that was told to you in 996 00:42:26,089 --> 00:42:24,119 confidence you're not only putting the 997 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:26,099 sources job in jeopardy you're also 998 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:27,810 putting everything surrounding the claim 999 00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:30,480 in jeopardy by that well let's look 1000 00:42:34,940 --> 00:42:32,760 specifically at the claim about the New 1001 00:42:36,890 --> 00:42:34,950 York Times story if revealing the fact 1002 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:36,900 that such a story was being worked on 1003 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:38,490 was permitted and wouldn't jeopardize 1004 00:42:44,510 --> 00:42:42,210 the research the scoop and so on then 1005 00:42:46,730 --> 00:42:44,520 the source would directly share that 1006 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:46,740 information with the public or wouldn't 1007 00:42:52,250 --> 00:42:49,650 mind being named and with news spreading 1008 00:42:54,319 --> 00:42:52,260 about this alleged impending story The 1009 00:42:57,260 --> 00:42:54,329 Times would have to know that the source 1010 00:42:59,660 --> 00:42:57,270 was prematurely blabbing about the story 1011 00:43:01,520 --> 00:42:59,670 therefore potentially resulting in the 1012 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:01,530 source being fired and the story being 1013 00:43:04,910 --> 00:43:02,130 scrapped 1014 00:43:06,620 --> 00:43:04,920 and it's not just the story yeah it's 1015 00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:06,630 every story like this in the UFO 1016 00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:08,640 community where there are alleged secret 1017 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:12,240 communications amazing claims made and 1018 00:43:16,849 --> 00:43:14,730 people within the UFO community eager to 1019 00:43:18,499 --> 00:43:16,859 break that news to everybody else 1020 00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:18,509 without stopping to think of the 1021 00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:20,730 potential damage it can do we're really 1022 00:43:25,309 --> 00:43:23,609 in a time right now where people want to 1023 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:25,319 be the first you know they want to be 1024 00:43:30,950 --> 00:43:28,650 the first two to share some great news 1025 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:30,960 some information even is something 1026 00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:33,450 something silly about an article coming 1027 00:43:37,249 --> 00:43:36,089 out I mean mainstream media publishes 1028 00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:37,259 articles all the time about these 1029 00:43:41,690 --> 00:43:39,569 incredible stories and topics related to 1030 00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:41,700 UFOs and you could argue that the times 1031 00:43:45,170 --> 00:43:42,480 already 1032 00:43:47,690 --> 00:43:45,180 in fact talked about crash retrievals 1033 00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:47,700 because in that great story you know 1034 00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:49,730 that start started this whole whirlwind 1035 00:43:55,549 --> 00:43:53,400 back in 2017 they mentioned big low 1036 00:43:57,319 --> 00:43:55,559 modifying buildings to store materials I 1037 00:43:59,720 --> 00:43:57,329 mean that was already covered and crash 1038 00:44:01,700 --> 00:43:59,730 retrievals isn't a new topic 1039 00:44:04,910 --> 00:44:01,710 in this field that's been covered over 1040 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:04,920 and over and over since Roswell I mean 1041 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:07,410 that was the start of it there's been so 1042 00:44:11,630 --> 00:44:08,970 many mainstream media outlets that have 1043 00:44:14,029 --> 00:44:11,640 gone into this topic but again it 1044 00:44:17,660 --> 00:44:14,039 doesn't matter about that story because 1045 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:17,670 even if there is a story about this what 1046 00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:18,690 does that do 1047 00:44:24,980 --> 00:44:22,730 aside from rehashing old information or 1048 00:44:28,099 --> 00:44:24,990 by making claims that can't be 1049 00:44:29,809 --> 00:44:28,109 substantiated right because even the 1050 00:44:32,059 --> 00:44:29,819 greatest thing that come out of a story 1051 00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:32,069 like that from a mainstream outlet like 1052 00:44:39,470 --> 00:44:35,910 The Times would be to specifically name 1053 00:44:42,170 --> 00:44:39,480 an organization within the US government 1054 00:44:45,289 --> 00:44:42,180 that is tasked with doing crash 1055 00:44:47,359 --> 00:44:45,299 retrievals however and I guess it's 1056 00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:47,369 always possible that they could say that 1057 00:44:52,220 --> 00:44:50,400 it's for recovering extraterrestrial 1058 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:52,230 spacecraft but that's not going to 1059 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:54,450 happen in my opinion just opinion aiding 1060 00:45:00,289 --> 00:44:57,690 here but that's not gonna happen if they 1061 00:45:03,170 --> 00:45:00,299 were to name or out some crash retrieval 1062 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:03,180 program it would be very vague it would 1063 00:45:08,450 --> 00:45:04,970 talk about you know recovering 1064 00:45:10,130 --> 00:45:08,460 unidentified objects or whatever and I 1065 00:45:12,109 --> 00:45:10,140 don't know about you guys but it stands 1066 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:12,119 to reason that the government has that I 1067 00:45:16,180 --> 00:45:14,450 mean they'd be silly not to 1068 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:16,190 have a group that would go out and 1069 00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:18,890 recover craft that crash that they don't 1070 00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:20,960 know what it is number one to find out 1071 00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:23,300 what it is and number two because we 1072 00:45:28,540 --> 00:45:25,730 want to recover technology from our 1073 00:45:30,310 --> 00:45:28,550 adversaries you know that makes sense or 1074 00:45:32,290 --> 00:45:30,320 things we're testing you're going to 1075 00:45:34,210 --> 00:45:32,300 have some group within the government 1076 00:45:36,310 --> 00:45:34,220 tasked with going out and cleaning that 1077 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:36,320 [\h__\h] up before anybody else can find out 1078 00:45:40,870 --> 00:45:38,210 about it that just makes sense 1079 00:45:44,530 --> 00:45:40,880 absolutely and not even having to do 1080 00:45:47,670 --> 00:45:44,540 with aliens or anything I mean of course 1081 00:45:50,470 --> 00:45:47,680 like there has to be a retrieval of down 1082 00:45:52,780 --> 00:45:50,480 spacecraft aircraft no matter what it is 1083 00:45:54,940 --> 00:45:52,790 it could be it could be Russian it could 1084 00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:54,950 be Chinese it doesn't matter we have to 1085 00:46:00,099 --> 00:45:57,530 retrieve it and figure out what it is um 1086 00:46:01,780 --> 00:46:00,109 so yeah I I agree with everything you 1087 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:01,790 said Jason the only thing I would add is 1088 00:46:08,109 --> 00:46:06,050 I think the the Twitter crowd as it were 1089 00:46:11,370 --> 00:46:08,119 needs to just temper their excitement 1090 00:46:13,599 --> 00:46:11,380 and just let these things be as they are 1091 00:46:16,390 --> 00:46:13,609 if there's gonna be a New York Times 1092 00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:16,400 article great like wait for it we don't 1093 00:46:22,569 --> 00:46:19,310 need months and months of hype to get to 1094 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:22,579 that point I think the greatest work and 1095 00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:24,650 the safest way to get this information 1096 00:46:30,700 --> 00:46:28,730 out is to just drop it when it's ready 1097 00:46:32,530 --> 00:46:30,710 and when all the sources have been 1098 00:46:35,470 --> 00:46:32,540 vetted everything I mean that New York 1099 00:46:38,380 --> 00:46:35,480 Times article in 2017 took them God 1100 00:46:40,089 --> 00:46:38,390 almost half a year to write because they 1101 00:46:44,170 --> 00:46:40,099 had to vendor sources they had to make 1102 00:46:46,540 --> 00:46:44,180 sure every word was carefully there so 1103 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:46,550 yeah for for those who are claiming 1104 00:46:52,030 --> 00:46:48,890 inside sources and that an articles 1105 00:46:54,550 --> 00:46:52,040 coming out and everything it's fun it's 1106 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:54,560 sexy it's whatever but at the end of the 1107 00:46:59,140 --> 00:46:57,290 day like I have learned to temper my own 1108 00:47:02,020 --> 00:46:59,150 excitement in hyping things when it 1109 00:47:04,059 --> 00:47:02,030 comes to my own work and that's it that 1110 00:47:06,849 --> 00:47:04,069 was a big thing for me so I think if 1111 00:47:08,710 --> 00:47:06,859 other people took that into their own 1112 00:47:11,109 --> 00:47:08,720 work and into their own research and 1113 00:47:11,319 --> 00:47:11,119 just let it let that chips fall as they 1114 00:47:14,109 --> 00:47:11,329 may 1115 00:47:16,990 --> 00:47:14,119 we'd all be better off now we might not 1116 00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:17,000 ever get that article and those claiming 1117 00:47:21,550 --> 00:47:19,250 no article was in the works maybe there 1118 00:47:24,099 --> 00:47:21,560 was but now there isn't because of those 1119 00:47:25,750 --> 00:47:24,109 that's how journalism works I mean we 1120 00:47:28,359 --> 00:47:25,760 know that that's how it works and 1121 00:47:30,819 --> 00:47:28,369 especially with a main ow 1122 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:30,829 like The Times I mean there's no 1123 00:47:35,289 --> 00:47:33,410 guarantee number one I mean you can have 1124 00:47:37,630 --> 00:47:35,299 the greatest story in the world and the 1125 00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:37,640 works that you know they they either 1126 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:39,440 commissioned or expressed interest in 1127 00:47:44,859 --> 00:47:41,690 but when it comes down to it they might 1128 00:47:46,450 --> 00:47:44,869 say yeah pass I mean just because you're 1129 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:46,460 writing it you have no control over what 1130 00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:49,249 they're going to do you certainly can't 1131 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:52,880 say oh come in this week guys but again 1132 00:47:57,759 --> 00:47:55,130 there's no need for that hype there's no 1133 00:47:59,890 --> 00:47:57,769 need for treating this like it's a 1134 00:48:02,109 --> 00:47:59,900 competition to be the first to claim 1135 00:48:05,859 --> 00:48:02,119 something the first to report on 1136 00:48:08,470 --> 00:48:05,869 something and certainly not focusing on 1137 00:48:10,569 --> 00:48:08,480 who's right and who's wrong there is no 1138 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:10,579 right and wrong we're all looking for 1139 00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:12,410 answers and you know taking information 1140 00:48:17,289 --> 00:48:15,529 in as it comes and doing with 1141 00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:17,299 information what we individually choose 1142 00:48:23,410 --> 00:48:19,990 to do there's a big focus now I think on 1143 00:48:26,529 --> 00:48:23,420 shaming people and forcing people to 1144 00:48:30,970 --> 00:48:26,539 have the same viewpoints about certain 1145 00:48:33,249 --> 00:48:30,980 things and that in UFOs just doesn't go 1146 00:48:35,859 --> 00:48:33,259 together that's not how the study of 1147 00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:35,869 UFOs works and the study of the unknown 1148 00:48:39,910 --> 00:48:38,089 the study of the strange like as you 1149 00:48:41,259 --> 00:48:39,920 should said Shane I agree with you 1150 00:48:44,229 --> 00:48:41,269 completely that's how I live my life 1151 00:48:46,210 --> 00:48:44,239 with all this is you know that your 1152 00:48:47,890 --> 00:48:46,220 views are constantly going to change 1153 00:48:49,660 --> 00:48:47,900 because you're constantly being 1154 00:48:51,220 --> 00:48:49,670 presented with new information you're 1155 00:48:53,950 --> 00:48:51,230 constantly learning new things about 1156 00:48:56,529 --> 00:48:53,960 sources from information that you once 1157 00:48:58,779 --> 00:48:56,539 considered you know high-value and 1158 00:49:00,789 --> 00:48:58,789 certain things might change that because 1159 00:49:03,460 --> 00:49:00,799 you learn new things it's constantly 1160 00:49:05,950 --> 00:49:03,470 evolving so you have to constantly let 1161 00:49:09,430 --> 00:49:05,960 your your own personal views evolve with 1162 00:49:12,759 --> 00:49:09,440 that now yeah I mean as far as shaming 1163 00:49:14,349 --> 00:49:12,769 and wanting to prove people wrong I mean 1164 00:49:16,180 --> 00:49:14,359 I guess that's just an individual thing 1165 00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:16,190 and personalities are going to do that 1166 00:49:21,819 --> 00:49:18,529 and I think there's this this real 1167 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:21,829 desire this this hunger for some of 1168 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:24,170 these people making the loudest noise to 1169 00:49:29,670 --> 00:49:27,170 I guess have some sort of not really 1170 00:49:32,259 --> 00:49:29,680 acceptance but they want confirmation 1171 00:49:33,489 --> 00:49:32,269 you know to support their their 1172 00:49:35,529 --> 00:49:33,499 established beliefs and what they've 1173 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:35,539 been barking to you know their friends 1174 00:49:41,570 --> 00:49:38,490 and relatives to to feel vindicated 1175 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:41,580 they might need that you know for their 1176 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:43,770 their personality to be able to go 1177 00:49:47,030 --> 00:49:45,090 uh-huh 1178 00:49:49,250 --> 00:49:47,040 see I can shove it in your face now I 1179 00:49:50,930 --> 00:49:49,260 was right all along some people need 1180 00:49:52,630 --> 00:49:50,940 that it's a weird personality trait but 1181 00:49:55,580 --> 00:49:52,640 I know a lot of people have that and 1182 00:49:58,130 --> 00:49:55,590 again I don't think those that that type 1183 00:50:00,050 --> 00:49:58,140 of personality goes well with the search 1184 00:50:03,470 --> 00:50:00,060 for truth when it comes to a topic like 1185 00:50:05,750 --> 00:50:03,480 UFOs so I don't know I see it doing more 1186 00:50:08,150 --> 00:50:05,760 more harm than good when it comes to 1187 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:08,160 UFOs we're not saying that we don't want 1188 00:50:11,540 --> 00:50:10,050 a New York Times story about crash 1189 00:50:13,250 --> 00:50:11,550 retrievals I mean I think that would be 1190 00:50:15,830 --> 00:50:13,260 pretty cool I would want to read it I 1191 00:50:17,390 --> 00:50:15,840 would want to see what what what these 1192 00:50:19,490 --> 00:50:17,400 claims are and what the sources are and 1193 00:50:22,310 --> 00:50:19,500 again I mean that helps me in my journey 1194 00:50:25,370 --> 00:50:22,320 in learning about these weird topics and 1195 00:50:27,590 --> 00:50:25,380 what's going on but you know if it 1196 00:50:30,020 --> 00:50:27,600 doesn't come out that's fine too if it 1197 00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:30,030 comes out and it says some wacky wonky 1198 00:50:33,590 --> 00:50:32,310 stuff that I can't substantiate it's not 1199 00:50:35,690 --> 00:50:33,600 gonna do anything for me and could 1200 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:35,700 potentially harm you know any serious 1201 00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:38,850 research into this but in the end it's 1202 00:50:43,970 --> 00:50:41,040 just an article on a website or in a 1203 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:43,980 newspaper they come and go it's not 1204 00:50:48,740 --> 00:50:46,410 going to change the world no matter how 1205 00:50:51,230 --> 00:50:48,750 grand it is I mean look at the buzz the 1206 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:51,240 hype that was created with the 2017 1207 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:53,850 article people jumped up and down and 1208 00:50:58,490 --> 00:50:55,410 thought that was the greatest thing ever 1209 00:51:01,250 --> 00:50:58,500 and now everybody is fascinated by UFOs 1210 00:51:03,470 --> 00:51:01,260 everybody is into this topic well that's 1211 00:51:05,630 --> 00:51:03,480 not necessarily true I mean there are 1212 00:51:09,290 --> 00:51:05,640 still you know just as many people as 1213 00:51:12,170 --> 00:51:09,300 before who have no idea what's going on 1214 00:51:14,599 --> 00:51:12,180 in the world of UFO research and UFO 1215 00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:14,609 news they're aware of that story they're 1216 00:51:18,470 --> 00:51:17,040 aware of you know certain articles that 1217 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:18,480 come up here and there they still have 1218 00:51:23,300 --> 00:51:20,850 the casual interest that they always had 1219 00:51:25,580 --> 00:51:23,310 but they haven't jumped into UFO 1220 00:51:28,250 --> 00:51:25,590 research their worldview hasn't shifted 1221 00:51:29,450 --> 00:51:28,260 their lives are just the same they just 1222 00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:29,460 thought it was cool that there was a 1223 00:51:34,310 --> 00:51:31,260 story in The New York Times about UFOs 1224 00:51:36,050 --> 00:51:34,320 and they've moved on so even if we had 1225 00:51:38,450 --> 00:51:36,060 something grand claiming that there's a 1226 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:38,460 crash retrieval system in the UFO in the 1227 00:51:43,099 --> 00:51:41,010 US government it's going to cause a 1228 00:51:44,570 --> 00:51:43,109 splash every media outlet in the 1229 00:51:46,370 --> 00:51:44,580 round-the-world is going to write 1230 00:51:48,380 --> 00:51:46,380 spin-off stories about it people are 1231 00:51:49,970 --> 00:51:48,390 going to talk about it on podcast the 1232 00:51:52,099 --> 00:51:49,980 world's going to move on 1233 00:51:53,300 --> 00:51:52,109 and people in the UFO community you're 1234 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:53,310 still gonna be talking about it how 1235 00:51:57,140 --> 00:51:54,330 what's the greatest thing that's ever 1236 00:52:01,099 --> 00:51:57,150 happened these things come and go that's 1237 00:52:03,260 --> 00:52:01,109 how news happens and we focus on it and 1238 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:03,270 fixate on it because this is what we're 1239 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:05,010 passionate about this is the field we're 1240 00:52:11,660 --> 00:52:07,770 in so you know we're more hyper sensual 1241 00:52:14,210 --> 00:52:11,670 hyper sensual we are we are hyper 1242 00:52:15,890 --> 00:52:14,220 sensual absolutely I mean again we're 1243 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:15,900 talking personally here personally I'm 1244 00:52:20,870 --> 00:52:18,450 hyper sensual but high percent hyper 1245 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:20,880 sensitive to these topics we pay more 1246 00:52:24,380 --> 00:52:22,650 attention to it it affects us more than 1247 00:52:27,590 --> 00:52:24,390 it does the general public good point 1248 00:52:31,460 --> 00:52:27,600 Jason I think that passion we're seeing 1249 00:52:33,410 --> 00:52:31,470 in the the more vocal of those unlike 1250 00:52:36,410 --> 00:52:33,420 UFO Twitter and everything that's great 1251 00:52:38,930 --> 00:52:36,420 and I think it's fantastic we're all 1252 00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:38,940 passionate about this topic - but like 1253 00:52:42,730 --> 00:52:40,710 you said the New York Times article 1254 00:52:46,609 --> 00:52:42,740 didn't change the world but it did 1255 00:52:48,859 --> 00:52:46,619 blindside a DoD at one point where they 1256 00:52:51,140 --> 00:52:48,869 had to literally backtrack and change 1257 00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:51,150 their their official stance on all this 1258 00:52:55,310 --> 00:52:53,609 so hey if there is a crash retrievable 1259 00:52:57,410 --> 00:52:55,320 article coming out just let it happen 1260 00:52:59,180 --> 00:52:57,420 when it happens and it's gonna blindside 1261 00:53:01,849 --> 00:52:59,190 those people who are involved with that 1262 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:01,859 as well so again it's not gonna change 1263 00:53:06,109 --> 00:53:03,450 the world but it's going to get the 1264 00:53:10,330 --> 00:53:06,119 conversation going on every facet of 1265 00:53:15,950 --> 00:53:10,340 this topic we all find very exciting and 1266 00:53:17,660 --> 00:53:15,960 sensual in some way and sensual yeah and 1267 00:53:22,580 --> 00:53:17,670 I would just say to your point earlier 1268 00:53:26,330 --> 00:53:22,590 Jason I would rather wait for a fully 1269 00:53:33,099 --> 00:53:26,340 vetted professional journalistic article 1270 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:33,109 with facts then you know be deluge with 1271 00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:36,410 supposition and opinion and all the hype 1272 00:53:40,820 --> 00:53:38,910 preceding it you know or trying to jump 1273 00:53:43,820 --> 00:53:40,830 it in other words you know all that's 1274 00:53:47,780 --> 00:53:43,830 fine and that and to me that's the world 1275 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:47,790 of social media actually that's if if we 1276 00:53:51,980 --> 00:53:49,410 didn't have social media we wouldn't see 1277 00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:51,990 90% of that right right this was no way 1278 00:53:57,410 --> 00:53:54,950 for that to happen but it's like I 1279 00:53:59,960 --> 00:53:57,420 mentioned in my book and stuff about how 1280 00:54:03,170 --> 00:53:59,970 you know hoaxers they do they do a 1281 00:54:03,830 --> 00:54:03,180 disservice to us all and I think in a 1282 00:54:05,900 --> 00:54:03,840 way this 1283 00:54:08,780 --> 00:54:05,910 of speculation does a disservice to us 1284 00:54:11,450 --> 00:54:08,790 as well because you know it um it 1285 00:54:14,210 --> 00:54:11,460 muddies the water and it kind of takes 1286 00:54:16,610 --> 00:54:14,220 away credibility and and for me now you 1287 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:16,620 mentioned it Jason I'm on a search for 1288 00:54:22,250 --> 00:54:19,050 truth you know I want to know the truth 1289 00:54:25,970 --> 00:54:22,260 I don't want you know to cloud my mind 1290 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:25,980 or my judgment my opinion you know with 1291 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:27,810 a bunch of speculation that ends up 1292 00:54:33,650 --> 00:54:30,930 being completely wrong or off-base or 1293 00:54:35,660 --> 00:54:33,660 any of that so I I think it's wise to 1294 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:35,670 just hold back a little bit let things 1295 00:54:42,140 --> 00:54:38,610 play out and see what really is real 1296 00:54:44,990 --> 00:54:42,150 versus all the hype stuff so and and I 1297 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:45,000 get it I mean it is it is a competition 1298 00:54:52,610 --> 00:54:48,450 in some regards but you know and they're 1299 00:54:54,950 --> 00:54:52,620 obviously genuinely sincere enthusiastic 1300 00:54:57,170 --> 00:54:54,960 people doing this research and stuff yes 1301 00:54:59,320 --> 00:54:57,180 absolutely and I appreciate all that I 1302 00:55:02,300 --> 00:54:59,330 don't I don't mean to diminish them but 1303 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:02,310 what I'm just saying is we get we want 1304 00:55:07,580 --> 00:55:04,410 to we want facts and we don't want just 1305 00:55:09,770 --> 00:55:07,590 you know unsubstantiated stuff we want 1306 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:09,780 the real deal we want we want the truth 1307 00:55:14,270 --> 00:55:12,570 so and that and that's why I said 1308 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:14,280 earlier just taking everything with the 1309 00:55:18,350 --> 00:55:16,290 grain of salt because you know there's a 1310 00:55:20,210 --> 00:55:18,360 lot of proclamations that we know this 1311 00:55:23,150 --> 00:55:20,220 and that and blah blah blah and it 1312 00:55:24,590 --> 00:55:23,160 doesn't happen and if if you if you put 1313 00:55:26,450 --> 00:55:24,600 all your eggs in that basket you're 1314 00:55:28,190 --> 00:55:26,460 gonna be disappointed and who knows I 1315 00:55:30,110 --> 00:55:28,200 bet you there's been people who have 1316 00:55:32,180 --> 00:55:30,120 been disappointed right out of ufology 1317 00:55:33,710 --> 00:55:32,190 because it you know it didn't turn out 1318 00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:33,720 to be what they thought because they 1319 00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:35,910 were basing everything on you know a 1320 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:38,250 certain book or of line of thinking or 1321 00:55:43,580 --> 00:55:40,410 some kind of concept that eventually 1322 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:43,590 falls out of favor or you know it's 1323 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:45,930 proven untrue and then you know that 1324 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:47,970 would be a real shame for someone so I 1325 00:55:53,420 --> 00:55:50,370 just think it's responsible to be 1326 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:53,430 careful and to use good judgment and let 1327 00:55:58,790 --> 00:55:55,770 let the truth come out and then then get 1328 00:56:00,440 --> 00:55:58,800 excited then get hyped yeah and this is 1329 00:56:03,670 --> 00:56:00,450 like I said I mean this this isn't a 1330 00:56:06,890 --> 00:56:03,680 field this isn't a hobby for people or 1331 00:56:11,270 --> 00:56:06,900 you know a focus of study for anybody 1332 00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:11,280 who does not have patience I mean UFOs 1333 00:56:15,530 --> 00:56:13,440 are slow you know let me wait in 75 1334 00:56:17,540 --> 00:56:15,540 years you know what's what's another 1335 00:56:20,300 --> 00:56:17,550 year a couple years 1336 00:56:23,330 --> 00:56:20,310 you know there's no rush the information 1337 00:56:26,210 --> 00:56:23,340 will come if it's coming and even when 1338 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:26,220 that information comes you're not gonna 1339 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:27,930 be satisfied because they're gonna be 1340 00:56:31,820 --> 00:56:29,970 more questions and you're gonna be 1341 00:56:34,970 --> 00:56:31,830 waiting on additional information it's 1342 00:56:36,650 --> 00:56:34,980 it's an endless endless quest so if 1343 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:36,660 you're not ready for that you know it's 1344 00:56:40,670 --> 00:56:38,970 time to eject I think but you got to 1345 00:56:43,010 --> 00:56:40,680 strap in for the for the long haul with 1346 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:43,020 us and understand that it requires a lot 1347 00:56:48,380 --> 00:56:45,170 of patience it's very unfulfilling 1348 00:56:51,350 --> 00:56:48,390 unsatisfying and frustrating that's what 1349 00:56:55,070 --> 00:56:51,360 UFO research is why do we do this to 1350 00:56:57,710 --> 00:56:55,080 ourselves gentlemen because we like we 1351 00:57:00,020 --> 00:56:57,720 like the journey yeah it is it's all 1352 00:57:02,690 --> 00:57:00,030 about the journey we

00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:13,200 in and that's because UFOs are so 1359 00:57:32,210 --> 00:57:30,810 essential element 115 well citizens 1360 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:32,220 that's gonna do it for this
